Vegetarianism

[Catherine]

I lived as a vegetarian, vegan actually for health reasons when I was 21. The doctor took me off of all animal sourced foods. I was fine with eating that way, but as my health improved I went back to eating meat. I had no reason not to.

Now that I am aware of how animals are treated I am not wanting to be a part of it. I have no medical reason to avoid meat, but I feel better for making the change.
I think of it as part of living greener and being in harmony with the planet.

If enough of us make choices like that we will end up changing the world. It is a slow process. The world has already changed a lot.
This time last year we were distressed about Gadhimai. Now it has been banned. I didn't expect that to happen so fast.
